The Boston Transcript makes serious
charges against the Railway Mail Service in
New England, contrasting its condition un-
der Democratic administration with its eff
ficiency under Republican management. AS
the Transcript is an independent paper,
with leanings Democratic if anything, it will
not be suspected of partisan bias. This is
its statement Of the performances of the ris-
Ing young Democrats who have been taken
into the postal cars as reward for their
own proficiency or the proficiency of their
relatives and friends as political workers:
The present superintendent of the New England
DIVISION Is very excellent man, who is trying to

standard. In this effort he is constantly thwarted

and the Connecticut and New Hampshire bosses
nave come TO an understanding, and, as result,
men who never were in postal car until a few
months ago are promoted over the heads of such
t 1ld Republican clerks as have escaped the guilo-
tine: South Boston and Connecticut run the New
England division for politics only and the busi-
ness public must take the consequences.
The extent Of the deterioration of the SER
vice is shown by this contrast which the
Transcript presents between the service un-
der the o,d and the new administration:
Under Republican postmasters general the
railway mail service attaineda very high degree
of efficiency, and when Mr.. Villas came into Office

Thursdays Vote In the Commons.

The House of Commons has concurred in
the most important amendments which the
House Of Lords added to the Irish Land
Bill. One of these amendments, that made
by the Earl Cadogan and providing that the
revision of rents be based upon the difference
ID prices in 1887 compared with the prices
from 1881 to 1885, is great concession to the
landlords, and in Mr. Parnell's judgment,

medal measure. Nevertheless the Salisbury
government could not withstand the pressure
from the most aristocratc wing of his party.
and the amendments were adopted by vote
of 225 to 115. The most important circum-

heart nervous dyspepsia, as well as all diseases of
the nervous system.
"For the sake OF the public health generally,

WONDERFUL PLANT.
Almost WOrshiped for Hts Marvellous

The following is taken from one of the Newspa-

while lifting slipped and fell backward
into toe incline. The giraffe, loaded
with ore, was ascending the incline at
